Ok, to keep it close to the kernel counterpart, I ended up with the
patch below, that builds for all the distros I have in my container set.

commit 2a00f026a15d161b47ba3d3417d0fec5193468c3

    tools: Fix up BITS_PER_LONG setting
    
    It was set based on CONFIG_64BIT, that is available only when using
    Kconfig, which we're working towards but not to the point of having this
    CONFIG variable set, so synthesize it from available compiler defined
    defines, __SIZEOF_LONG__ or, lacking that, __WORDSIZE.
